Telemedicine in Glen Rose, Texas

Virtual ER brings board-certified emergency physicians and nurse practitioners to patients in Glen Rose and throughout Somervell County. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from your phone, tablet, or computer.

Searching for a Glen Rose emergency room? Handle the dangerous cases first: chest pain, stroke symptoms, major injuries, severe breathing trouble — call 911 or get to your nearest emergency room without delay. For urgent problems that are not life-threatening, Virtual ER gives Glen Rose and Somervell County residents a video line to board-certified emergency physicians at any hour, every day of the year. The physician sees you on camera, works through your symptoms the way an emergency intake would, and treats what can be safely managed remotely — colds and flu, rashes and insect bites, common infections, vomiting and diarrhea, medication refills. Prescriptions go electronically to the pharmacy you choose, whether that is one you already use or a mail-order service that delivers to your door. When a condition needs hands-on care, you get that answer straight, along with which level of care to seek. For a town of about 2,700 residents, it is a 24/7 way to put an emergency physician on the problem first.
